Catapulting Geothermal Power into the Big League Through EGS

Geothermal power has been gaining huge attention in recent times. The widespread usage of EGS (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) has the potential to pave the way for geothermal power production in almost all regions, thus transforming geothermal power into a major renewable power base.

By 2020, Europe requires 20% of its entire energy utilization to spring from renewable resources as the continent is being challenged by climate change and has the very specific need of securing a sustainable economic growth. Achieving this goal is possible only through a right balance of energy mix that captures the benefits presented by each energy source and facilitates them in forming a working ensemble while complementing each other.

The generation of geothermal power depends on the heat coming from the earth’s inner core. Therefore, geothermal power has no geographical restrictions and is present everywhere. In low enthalpy regions, geothermal energy’s technical feasibility has a proven track record and EGS is the key towards its development.
